(00:41):
these are the radio blogs on the Fread Show bike
We're writing in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
We call them blogs. Klin, you got one, go yes,
dear blog.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So this is a two parter, but they do both
relate to each other, if that's all right with you guys.
So I have a love hate relationship with my birthday,
which is coming up, and it all started. It all
started in nineteen ninety one on a hot summer day.
But I just growing up. I've I'm not someone who
(01:11):
I need all the attention to be on me, but
I am someone who likes to use my birthday as
an excuse to be with people I love and force
them to do something I want to do. I'll, you know,
like a party or a concert or whatever, just spend
time together.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But it doesn't need to be me focused.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
But it's been difficult in the past because even like
starting when I didn't get a locker at school, you know,
it kind of made me sad because I had a
summer birthday decoration, like the cupcakes. You can't bring cupcakes anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Used to get a locker, used to people used to
decorate it. Yeah, yeah, I used to like.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Really like long for that yearn for that, you know,
and bring a treat. You know, I wanted to bring
a treat. And then it turned into when I got
a little bit older, everyone took like a family in
the Midwest, everyone takes like a family road trip or vacation,
and it's usually early August before everyone goes back to school.
So typically if I wanted to do something, I had
like one little friend with me there, which is fine.
I mean we're so bald because planned.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Everybody else was outtown.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, and then it turned into weddings. You know, I
have an August birthday, and typically if it's on the weekend,
there are weddings. Then it turned into La La Palooza
the Chicago Music Festival, because it's every year during either
my actual birthday or the weekend that I would celebrate
my birthday because the weekend after my birthday is my
(02:26):
sister's birthday, so there's really no there's no time before
or after. So I've kind of just made my peace
with it, and that's happening this year. And it's very funny,
like when you're the planner of the group, and like,
I really love planning other people's birthdays. I think you
guys can probably attest like it. That's very important to me.
I think it's special. I want to celebrate the people
I love. But it's very funny when like it's my
birthday and then like all the people that I plan
(02:48):
for ask me what we're doing, and I'm like, Okay,
I don't should I be telling you guys what we're doing.
I don't know. But my second question is miss Paulina
this morning and I were in the elevator and she goes, Hey,
what are you into lately?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Super slick? Great, super super slick. Yeah, I'm super I
always ask people that in the elevator. I'm actually asking
a different question entirely, but yeah, hey, what are you?
What are you into these days? You know, that's just
that's me feeling out something totally different. But I'm super slick. Yes,
one week away from the birthday? Hey, what kind of
stuffy into right now? That's when I asked my my
(03:27):
That's when I asked my friends with kids when their
birthday is coming up, like what are they into right now?
Like that's because it's a never changing thing for a child.
You know. Right now, for Gideon's son, it's Legos and
Spider Man, but you know in a year it might
be something else. Yeah, so what do you? Yeah, but
while we're at it, what are you into? The what
are you into these days? Am I?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
God?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Taking some notes?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I spend we are in constant communication, and I spend
more time with her than I stid with my family.
So it's just very funny, out of nowhere in an elevator.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
On random morning, what are you in?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And then she's like, you know, I think you like shoes, right,
what kind of shoes you've been trying?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Polina, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. But
I am.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Hypocritical because I would never tell someone what to buy me.
But I very much love when you guys tell me
what you want. Like that is my happy place.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
As a grown up. At this age, I'm very much
of the place where I wish you would just say,
like your birthday next week, I wish you would just
tell me I'm looking at these shoes because I'm just
going to go buy them for you. Yeah, because I
can go buy you something that I think is cool
or that the people at the store think is cool,
and then you might not. And then it's like then
(04:32):
you might feel guilty about returning it, or or you
might not like it or want it, or you might
want something else, or you might already have it, or
too much of that category. It's just like because we're
not we're not any longer, Like it's not when we're kids,
when we don't have any money, so like everything is
cool because almost everything is cool, except for that time
that I got a bike instead of the Nintendo sixty
(04:52):
four I wanted if my sister got the Nintendo sixty
four and then held it over my head. But other
than that, like it's everything's cool. I just I would
much rather as an adult that if gift giving is expected,
and most of my adult friends, this is the only
place in my life except for family, that we even
give gifts. Anyway, by the way, it's not expected, it
absolutely is. You deserve a gift on your birthday, and
(05:13):
everybody in this room does too. But I but because
your family. But at the same time, I don't know.
I would much rather you say, like, hey, I want
these these jordan ones. I've been looking at them, and
then guess what you're going to get exactly that, and
then you're happy, and I'm happy because I got you
something that you actually wanted. So which jordan onees do you?
If you would please send me the link, I will
(05:34):
make sure I get them right now.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Thetis lies, Yes, you guys, Yes, that was one of
my favorite gifts I ever got. I will try to
get over my fear of telling people what I would
want and think of something for you guys, if that's helpful,
But it really is tough for me, difficult for.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Someone like me, Like that really helps? What are you
these days?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
What are you in Thanksgiving? I was like, I don't know,
Like these kids put together like little little link trees
or whatever, they put together like little emails with links,
If you wouldn't mind, I think it's brilliant. I think
it's a brilliant idea. Like my sister does this now
for the kids birthdays, Like she'll just send me here, here,
(06:13):
this is what she wants, Like here are three options,
and I just click on all three and order them
on Amazon. And I will admit that it's lazy. It
is lazy, But at the same time, it's like I
would much rather just get you what you want then
try and guess and it not be right. So if
you wouldn't mind a little email, you know, with a
few links, just a couple of little linky links on it,
you know, just a little just a little something, and
(06:36):
we could do like various price ranges, we could do,
like we could do like.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know, right, are you guys doing a group gift?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But why can't there been there been debates and discussions,
and there's been negotiations behind the scenes.
